General Plan

I will leave pieces of bread out in parts of my house that have diffrent conditions. one place that has diffrent conditiond from the rest of my house is the basement. and places like that are diffrent from places like the living rooms and bedrooms

Potential Problems And Solutions

it some are not the right conditions, and i will try to make the right conditions and if i cant i will just take that condition out

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

bread mold growing outside the bags

Experimental Design

I am going to place pieces of bread in diffrent parts of my house and they will all be diffrent conditions and i will see what piece grows mold first

Resources and Budget Table

Item	Number needed	Where I will get this	Cost
bread	4 - 5	my house	free

Detailed Procedure

I will place pieces of bread in different places with different conditions all around my house. Then i will wait and see what piece of bread grows mold the fastest. Then i will know what type of conditions make bread mold grow the fastest

Results

The hot and humid took the least amount of time, it took 12 days to start growing mold. Then second was the hot and dry which took 15 days took start growing mold. Then room tempature took 18 days to mold.

Conclusion

I set out 4 pieces of bread one of them i put out side and it dissapeared but the other one were hot

Discussion

i put bread in bags and let them sit for a few days. i checked them multiple times every day and it took a long time.
after a few days i thought they were never going to grow mold but i kept them out and I just left them. and they didnt grow mold

gives people an idea of how long it could take mold to grow on their bread in their houses
